Summer Bucket Lists For Families

Summer Bucket Lists Keep the Season Full of Surprises

What's on your list? Summer may be a time to let lil ones kick up their heels and relax for a while, but too much unstructured time can be a sure path to boredom. This photo from Meg Duerksen's Whatever blog seems to be the perfect antidote to summertime blues. Sitting down with your kids and writing up a list of all the things they want to do while school's out of session and the sun hangs high in the sky for a longer time will ensure that the tots have plenty to look forward to as the season rolls along.

So what's on my family's list? I'll share our top three if you share yours! Here we go:

Here are some of our top must-dos of the Summer: take a canoe trip; go backpacking; see Uli play and run around with his cousin Soren in Wisconsin; visit grandparents, great-grandparents, and extended family; eat lots of yummy garden produce; go swimming and biking; host a movie night in the backyard with our other parent friends and their kids.
